TIE PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS.
The Love Of One of Vassar's Faculty That the
Girls Call Romance.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20-No person has been
more closely identified with Vassar College than
Miss Priscilla Braislin, and one has made a
stronger more favorable impression. Prof.
Braislin alone shared with Prof Maria Mitchell
the honor of having been continuously in the
college since it's organization in 1865 and for
over ten years she has held the important place
of professor of mathematics. Each graduating
class has regarded Miss Braislin as the imper-
sonation Of their alma mater, and for very many
years the interest in the favorite professor has
been heightened by the tradition. passed fro m
class TO class. that there was sad romance in
her lifs and that Just before her connection with
the college she had been crossed in love. The
man. it was said, who had alone gained her sf-
fections b ad for some reason broken off the en-
gagement and ma rried another lady. Whatever
truth there might be in the story, the brightness
and sunshine In which the college life OF the
professor of mathematics was ever enveloped
proved that the episois,. whatever 1t was. had
not soured the heart of Miss Braislin, or in any
way lessened her sympathies with the young
people who came and went through the classic
halls of Vassar while she remained.
OF these hundreds of young people. none wore
of more interest to Professor Braislin than two
sisters, the daughters of Mr. Timothy Merrick,
of Holyoke, who were in the class of 'SS. They
were the daughters of Mr.. Merrick's second
wife. and their mother died in the winter of
1885. STRANGE to say. the college traditions
fixed on the father of the Misses Merrick the
man who figured in Miss Brss!in's early ro-
nance. At all events. the two young students
from HolJoke became dearer and dearer to
Professor Braislin. and that the latter became
very dear to their father has been pretty we'll
established by the little ceremony which has
just taken place at her brothers ho use in Brook
lyp.
At the close of the commencement at Vassar
last June il was whispered that a vacancy was
likely to occur in the chair of the professor of
mathematics, but it was not until few weeks
ago, when the college was reopened, that it be-
came generally known than in future Professor
Braislin would only be a bright me mory and in.
spiration in the history of alma mater. A CON-
mittee was then appointed to prepare a we'd
ding present. and beautiful vase, which Mrs.
Merrick exhibits with much pride, was the re-
suit Mr. MerrIck Is fine looking, well-pre-
served man of sixty. He is one OF the wealth
lest and most distinguished citizens of Holyoke,
and is known all over the country as the head
of the Merrick Thread Company. He has
family of seven children by his former wives,
four and three daughters. the eldest of
whom. Miss Tina Merrck. present at the
wedding. When the honeymoon trip is brought
to a close Mr.. and Mrs. Merrick will settle

Special to the Indianapolis Jourus.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Nina Van Zandt is be-
lieved TO be dying. Food has not passed her
lips since her husband, as she believes August
Spies to have been, perished the gallows.
The only nourishment of which she has par
taken in all that time besides little fruit. is
occasional drink of milk. She persists in de-
claring she cannot eat and that she does not
need food; but it is a serious question with her
loving parents if the strong self-willed girl has
not determined TO abstain from food until death
comes to her relief Her parents are already
concerned about her, as she is but shadow Of
her former self.
